Judge Roman has decided that gro
ceries cannot be sold in public or
private markets, and says: The Legis-
lative idea Of markets, as understood by
the terms Of Act No. 18 of 1885, is con-
veyed in the acts authorizing the estab-
lishment Of private markets for the sale
OF fresh meats, game, poultry, vegetables,
fruits and fresh fish. This is what was
evidently the intent Of the Legislature,
when referring to public and private
markets.

in and knocked to one side, and the
other vessels were assisting her. The
Etruria passed the four vessels four
miles from them, and, as the weather
was growing rapidly cool, did not think
it eXpedient to go to them. 1t was
the impression of Capt. Cook, from the
character of the injury to the Celtic,
that she had encountered ice. The slow
moving vessels were soon lost sight of
in the fog, and il the weather did not
lift they would have difficulty in reach

TO express through you To The members of

and my thanks for the courtesy manifested
in the form of their approval 1t sometimes
happens that official conduct clearly de-
manded by an imperative obliga-
ten of public duly is made
difficult by counter influence and
inclinations which grow out of sympathy or
by disposition to follow with case and COM
fort the apparent current of popular opinion.
Those of our citizens not holding office and
thus entirely free from the solemn obligation
often fail to realize that their public servants
are to a large extent debarred in official ac
ton from the Indulgence of these charitable
impulses which i'll private life are not only
harmless but commendable. While the de-
priVations should be regarded one of the
stern incidents of faithful performance of
official duty, and while it should be endured
with the resignation arising from an unfal-
tering faith in the ultimate justice of the
American people, ii is, nevertheless, crafty

A WILL FIGHT.
Contest Over the Estate of n
Wealthy TOkaccoDiSt

NEW YORK, May 21.-Felix McClos-
key, who for five years was porter of
John Anderson III the tobacco business,
and who at one time was sergeant-at-
arms of the house of representatives,
was the principal witness yesterday be-
fore Judge Lawrence in the ejectment
suit brought by Mrs. Mary Maud Wat
son, grand daughter of John Ander-
son, the tobacco manufacturer, against
Messrs. Phyfe Il Campbell. The suit
Is III reality controversy involving the
question OF validity of Mr.. Anderson S
will. Mr.. McCloskey gave some inter
eStlng "reminiscences of the millionaire
tobacconistt, which was listened to with
attentive interest by the large crowd
filing the court. Later on eX-Judge
Curtis asked him about Mary Rogers
the beautiful cigar girl'' as she was
called, who was murdered while in Mr..
AnderSon'S employ and the mystery of
whose strange and sad murder has
never been solved.
Questionable you know Mary Rogers?
Answer remember when l was a mere
boy seeing her behind the counter in Mr.. An
derson'S cigar store, on the corner of Broad
way and Pearl street.
Q.-Did Mr.. Anderson. ever speak to you
about her? Avery frequently. recollect
the first time. 1t was i'll Matarans on Beck
man street. His name had been mentioned
as candidate for mayor of the city. He said
that he supposed a charge of his having muir
dered Mary Rogers would be brought up
against him. The charge, he said, was an in
famous lean outrage. He said he had
nothing TO do with it.
Q.-Did he not tell you that the spirit of
Mary Rogers appeared eto him? Ale
thought he saw things-d-d things, as he
called them-follow him about, and he would
ask me If did not see them. One night ac-
cording TO Mr.. McCloskey, Mr.. Anderson ran
without coat, hat or shoes. from Judge Bar
nard's residence to the Astor house, where he
then boarded, in state of great consterna-
ton, through fear of his life at the hands of
his alleged conspirators.
Q.-Do you remember what he told you
about it! Ale told me they would have
murdered him ii he had not run away. He
said they had tried to put him in lunalic
asylum and that he would give me 100000

of the fiscal guard at Obispe says: The
earthquake was SO strong here that it
did not leave a single habitable house
standing. Sixty persons were killed
and MANY wounded beyond hope of re-
covery. Between 8 p. III. and a. III. of
the day following there were eighteen
shocks. We are stilldigging out bodies,
and think the number of killed will
reach 49," A letter from Janos, in Chi
huahua, says: The greater part of the
houses here were destroyed, but nobody
was killed" The jefe politice of Casas
dirandes sends word that there is great
need of food for sufferers in the
district affected. Another letter from
JanoS declares the existence of an
extensive volcano, and says: THE
smoke is 50 dense it cut OFF the suns
rays. Many aver that when the earth
quake occurred they saw large powders
shoot up in the air, and that flames
burst forth from the summit of the
mountain. setting fire to the forest"
The municipal president at San Andres
writes: AT $3.50 p. III. an extraordinary
earthquake occurred here. assure you
there was not person at the time who
could explain how he felt. Houses were
shattered and glass broken, but the
most remarkable of all was this There
is clear spring called Penada in an
arroyo at the foot of a bluff. For two
hours this spring flowed all immense
stream of water thick with red mud, but
after while it returned to its original
condition" A later letter from Casas
Grande says: ''In the mountains which
we call Sierra Madre volcano of fire
was started, which is even now covered
with great clouds of smoke. The vol
cano burst forth at the hour the earth
